Port tk fails to upgrade from version 8.5.12 to 8.5.13 and returns the following error.

Indeed, NSApplicationPresentationAutoHideDock is part of the KioskMode APIs available only in OS X 10.6 and later. Sorry. If you wish Tk to remain compatible with OS X 10.5, you'll have to report the problem to the developers of Tk.

How do I find out, if I actually need tk? It was installed as a dependency for some other port...

Thank you for the explanation. A bug report has been filed, see artifact ​3588158 for more information.

Replying to heapifyman@…:

To find installed ports that are unrequested and have no dependents you can use:

% port echo leaves

or

% port echo leaves |grep -w tk

To display all ports that are required to build and run tk

% port echo depof:tk

To display all installed ports that depend on tk

% port echo dependentof:tk

You could try building with -quartz. If that works, we could make that the default for < 10.6 until upstream fixes it.

I uninstalled tk and then tried to install the +quartz variant. The build failed again on 10.5.8.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

We know that tk with the quartz variant ("tk +quartz") fails. We were asking you to try whether tk without the quartz variant ("tk -quartz") works. I've tried it myself now on Leopard and can confirm this works, so I've fixed it in r99837.

The upstream bug report indicates that this problem will not be fixed and says that tk >= 8.5.13 is not supported on Leopard and older, but it appears that by omitting the quartz parts it still works on Leopard.

I didn't understand the minus sign, now I do. :-) It works for me too.

if anyone cares enough to implement it, I doubt upstream would object to a patch that conditionally disables the use of that API only on <= 10.5.
